Shaun Grigg, Robin Nahas and Jake King will fly the flag for Australia in the International Rules series against Ireland later this month.
The trio has been selected to represent their country for the first time, in a youthful 24-man squad.
The team is a combination of young and experienced AFL stars, most of which are between 20-24 years of age.
Nahas played every game for the Tigers in 2010 and was among the league’s most improved players, kicking 29 goals and averaging 19 disposals.
Likewise, King enjoyed his most consistent season at Tigerland in a small forward role, playing 19 games and booting 25 goals.
Grigg was a revelation in his first season at Richmond, picking up a career-high 462 disposals, at an average of 22 per match.
